Magic the Gathering : Dtoid
Clyde | 6:10 PM on 04.02.2009 12 comments




Being a gamer website, I figured alot of us play or used to play Magic the Gathering and I'm sure there are a lot who are in my situation where we did play a while ago but life went on and we moved on to cheaper things. So I want to bring MtG back in my life but without spending hundreds of dollars on booster packs and I want to play the game online without buying a software that will have me buy cards as DLC. So I figured that it would be a great thing to start a MtG league on Destructoid.

For that we need a software. Here's the problem, when it comes to free MtG software there are a few options but not all of them will be good for everybody. Some of us have Windows PC some have Mac OS X and some even have Linux. So Apprentice was out of the question. The solution wasn't to hard to find, LackeyCCG. Although not being the prettiest software out there, the interface is complete and simple to use, all the options to play online with all the cards from the MtG universe with cards scans in high quality is all there. Also I think the software supports games up to 4 players, which would open up a great variety of gameplay.

I already made a thread in the forum section but not everyone goes there, so if anyone is interested in playing MtG, just send me a request to join the group : http://groups.google.ca/group/destructoid--MtG-league
Ideally I would like this to be part of FNF but we can also get games going on whenever.

What formats will be played? I feel like since it'll have all cards available we should do some old school block sessions, like an all Invasion/Oddyssey block format or Ravnica/Time Spiral block. If we play with all cards ever it'll be like Type I, and that's not very fun lol.

lol, I played before those series so I'm not really aware of anything after Mirage.

uhmm I say a modified Type 1, where anything below revised is banned, and certain revised cards are limited such as Fork or Berserk, by limited I mean 1 per deck.

But rules are something we can worry about a bit later

i been collecting since 94 and have over two thousand cards. i would love to play but will only do it over a psn video chat with your and mines real cards and the eye camera. no fucking black lotus or moxes. your own cards, not your dream deck that costs $5oo and is bs. i would love to get a iceage only play again like the old days. hell, eve the crappy fallen empires was fun when only using those cards.

Isn't there supposed to be a version coming to XBLA? Am I mistaken in thinking that? I'd like to play, but I don't know any of the rules or strategies and would get steamrolled by everyone else.

I recently started playing MtG again, and now everybody I know also started for the first time and they are addicted. My old school red direct damage deck is awesome. I also have a nice Mirrodin artifact deck for multiplayer games. I don't think I'll play in your tournament since I'm busy these days(yay for crunch time) but good luck to all who participate.
